One of the most prominent problems experienced by the oil facilities is leakage of oil from the pipes. This problem caused 55% of oil refineries to be shut off. Oil leakage is a common problem that often results in oil waste, damage, and hazard to public health. Therefore, it is necessary to use Modern technologies to reduce this phenomenon and avoid them in advance. Pipes that convey fluids have many uses in various industries and living facilities. Risk increases when the fluid inside the pipe is flammable. In this work, main case that cause damage to the pipe, longitudinal crack is investigate.This work presents a new experimental model based on computer applications with a Fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm for testing the effect of longitudinal crack length by frequency and ultrasonic measurements to measure fluid velocity. The method is used for plastic pipe with 2 cm internal diameter, 3 cm external diameter, and 1 m length. The modulus of elasticity of the material is 800 N/mm2 according to the ISO 178 test method. The pipe conveys oil with simply supported ends. The results show that FFT model shows better features compared with other ways that depends on visual inspection or localized measurements which gave an external perception of pipeline damage. FFT model offers a reliable and cheap style for ensuring pipeline integrity and warning the risks before its occurrence. From the observations made the fundamental natural frequency (FNF) decreases by increasing of crack length in the pipe that conveys fluid.

Simulative analysis of tube hydroforming processeSAT Journals
Abstract The tube hydro forming process (THF) is an unconventional metal forming process, where in tube is deformed internally and thus it is forced to expand and conform to the shape of the surrounding die. The performance of this process depends on various parameters like internal pressure, axial loading etc. For FEA simulation, it requires proper combination of material selection, part design and boundary conditions. The estimated process parameters are optimized using FEA simulations. In this work, free bulge shaped tube die was modeled by using Auto CAD. Subsequently, the processes were simulated using DEFORM-3D and it has been verified with experimental work under proper boundary and loading condition. Process parameters study also been conducted. It has been found that the estimated process parameters, developed branch height and the wall thickness distribution along different planes are in good coincidence with experimental results.

Analysis of cross flow induced vibration in an inline and staggered configura...eSAT Journals
Abstract
In many engineering applications like heat exchanger, radiator, evaporator, nuclear power plant and thermal power plant, arrangement of tubes is very crucial. Fluid elastic instability forms the basis for deciding the type of arrangement and tube spacing but the phenomenon of vortex induced vibration is random in nature. Tube spacing also plays a critical role in different types of arrangement. Different type of application requires different tube spacing and the range of tube spacing vary from 1 to 6. Vortex Induced Vibration in cross flow around the inline and staggered arrangement of the tube arrays is experimentally studied for varying P/d (tube spacing) ratio. It is observed that with the increase in the velocity, the amplitude displacement increases. As the amplitude displacement of the tube reduces, the pitch over diameter ratio is increased from 2 to 4. It is also observed that between inline and staggered arrangement, the amplitude displacement of staggered arrangement is more compared to inline arrangement for same tube spacing.

Control of Suddenly Expanded Flow at Low Supersonic Mach NumbersIJERA Editor
In the present study the experiments were conducted to control the base pressure from a convergent-divergent
nozzle at low supersonic Mach numbers to assess the effectiveness of active control mechanism in the form of
micro jets at different expansion level. The parameters considered in the present study are the diameter ratio,
length to diameter ratio (L/D), Nozzle Pressure Ratio (NPR), and the Mach number. The diameter ratio selected
for the present study are 1.6, 1.8, 2.2, and 2.5. Experiments were conducted for nozzle pressure ratio (NPR)
from 3 to 11. The L/D ratio of the enlarged duct was varied from 10 to 1, and results are presented for L/D 4, 3,
2, and 1. The Mach numbers of the present studies are 1.1, 1.2, 1.4, and 1.5. The results show that the Micro jets
are very effective and are able to raise the base pressure value to a considerable level under the influence of
favorable pressure gradient except at lower NPR 3. At NPRs 5 and 7 for some cases the trends differ due to the
level of expansion, nature of waves present in the base region, relief available to the flow, L/D ratio of the
enlarged duct and the Mach numbers. It is seen that most of the cases exhibit similar behavior for the L/Ds in
the range 4 and 3, which means; that the back pressure has not adversely influenced the flow field in the base
region as well as in the duct. The minimum duct length required for the flow to be attached is L/D = 2, even
though in some cases flow is attached with duct wall. With this it can be stated that the micro jets can be an
alternative for the for base pressure control.
Pipeline Monitoring Using Vibroacoustic Sensing – A ReviewIRJET Journal
This document reviews pipeline monitoring using vibroacoustic sensing. It discusses how vibroacoustic sensing uses acoustic and vibration sensors along pipelines to detect leaks, impacts, and other issues. A network of these sensors records signals that can identify locations of problems. The document outlines testing procedures used to simulate various events and evaluate the monitoring system's performance at detecting things like leaks, pig tracking, and impacts at different pressures and distances. It also reviews existing pipeline monitoring methods and the proposed use of acoustic waves to remotely monitor pipeline health by detecting abnormal wave propagation patterns from issues like leaks.
Assessment of Fatigue Failure in FPSO Mooring Systemsijtsrd
Mooring lines failures are a critical subject in FPSO designs, analysis, and operations. This study aims to achieve this by extending damage calculations results from rain flow analysis to the computation of an appropriate range of Weibull parameter h. The Weibull method is a fatigue analysis method that is done in the frequency domain. Selection of a particular h parameter that will accurately compute damage is a difficult challenge. So, damage calculations can overestimate or underestimate the fatigue damage and fatigue life of mooring lines. Analysis was also carried out in the frequency domain using Dirlik’s method and the results from the two domains compared. Metocean Data for the Gulf of Guinea was obtained and inputted into Orcaflex for analysis. 12 wave classes, current and wind data were extracted and included in a computer model of the FPSO. Rain flow analysis was carried out and the results for all 12 mooring lines in the 12 different wave classes were extracted for analysis. Results from here showed all stresses were within the acceptable limits specified in DNV OS E301 guidelines. Initial analysis was carried out for all 12 wave classes considering Low Frequency LF forces alone and another carried out considering Wave Frequency WF forces alone for 3 wave classes. The 3 classes selected were in line with DNV Ultimate Limit State ULS conditions. Back calculation was used from the fatigue damage results obtained from the analysis and applied to the Weibull equation so an appropriate h parameter can be gotten. Results obtained can be applied to the fatigue analysis of mooring lines within the Gulf of Guinea environment. Adebanjo Victor Abiola | Ibiba Douglas | Matthew N. O.Sadiku | Uwakwe C.

Chemical by product diagnostic technique is an efficient, cost-effective and reliable diagnostic technique for gas insulate switchgear condition monitoring in view of its high sensitivity and anti- internal and external electromagnetic interference and noise. In this research paper, coaxial simulated gas insulated switchgear chamber and four different types of artificial defect were designed to cause partial discharge that will simulate the decomposition of sulphur hexafluoride gas in the chamber when energize. Fourier transform infrared spectrometer was used as the method of chemical by-product technique to detect the SF6 decomposition product and its concentration. Different numerous by-products were detected (SO2, SOF2, SO2F2, SO2F10, SiF4, CO, C3F8, C2F6 ) under this experiment using four different types of defect and the by-products differs with the type of defect and the generation rate. Gas insulated switchgear health condition can be feasibly diagnosed by analyzing the decomposition products of SF6 to identify its fault.

Analysis of stress concentration at opening in pressure vessel using anovaeSAT Publishing House
This document presents an analysis of stress concentration at openings in pressure vessels using analysis of variance (ANOVA). The study uses a pressure vessel with four nozzles of varying diameters instrumented with strain gauges. Experiments are conducted by applying internal pressures from 0.2 to 0.7 MPa in a randomized sequence to prevent bias. ANOVA is used to analyze the experimental results and determine the interaction between nozzle diameter and internal pressure. The ANOVA results show that pressure and nozzle diameter significantly influence stress levels, rejecting the null hypothesis that they do not interact. Stress is found to increase with both larger nozzle diameters and higher internal pressures.
Experimental and numerical study of defects in pressuresed cylindrical shells...eSAT Journals
Abstract
In order to conduct a comprehensive study on the harmfulness of defects in the pressure vessels, and in order to propose simple rules to characterize the harmfulness of existing defects in pressurized installations. An experimental study based on the monitoring of deformations by strain gauges in the vicinity of defects. In parallel, during pressure testing, the evolution of defects is detected and followed by the acoustic emission method. The specific instrumentation has been designed and implemented. Mini-structures ( models) have therefore been carried out with positional defects and different orientation. These experimental results validated by a numerical model of finite elements.

This document provides an overview of acoustic pulse reflectometry (APR), a technology for inspecting heat exchanger tubes. APR uses acoustic pulses to detect discontinuities in tubes, such as blockages, holes, or corrosion. It is non-invasive, works on any tube material or configuration, and generates objective inspection reports faster than conventional methods. APR helps industries maintain efficient and environmentally friendly operations by enabling quick and comprehensive inspections of heat exchanger tubes to identify issues for maintenance or refurbishment.
This document describes a system called PipeGuard that aims to autonomously detect leaks in pipes. It summarizes the system's design and working principles. PipeGuard contains a carrier module that provides locomotion inside pipes and a detector module. The detector works by measuring changes in force on a rotating drum suspended by a gimbal mechanism when a membrane attached to the drum comes in contact with leak areas. These force measurements can identify leak locations based on the angle of contact. The system uses two microcontrollers, one for real-time leak sensing from force sensors and one for controlling the carrier's speed. It communicates wirelessly to a command center to report leak detections.
Analysis of Transformer Loadings and Failure Rate in Onitsha Electricity Dist...Dr. Hachimenum Amadi
This study analyzed transformer loadings and failure rates in the Onitsha electricity distribution network in Nigeria from 2011-2015. Electrical data from the network was simulated using ETAP software to determine transformer loadings, while questionnaires assessed failure rates. The findings showed an average transformer failure rate of 11.7% during the study period, higher than rates in developed countries. Major causes of failure included insulation issues (24.2%), overloading (22.5%), and inadequate maintenance (16.4%). The Army Barracks substation had the highest failure rate of 23.8%. The study recommends installing more transformers, using high quality transformers, balancing loads, and improving maintenance to increase reliability.

This document studies the effect of metallic particles on the breakdown voltage in a coaxial duct with different spacer materials. Experiments were conducted with copper wire particles placed horizontally and vertically in a coaxial duct with spacers made of polypropylene, nylon, acrylic and teflon. The breakdown voltage was measured under AC, positive DC and negative DC voltages. The results showed that teflon and polypropylene had the highest breakdown voltages. Introducing metallic particles lowered the breakdown voltage, with horizontal placement having less effect than vertical placement. The conclusions determined that the number, position and material of conductors and spacers influence the breakdown voltage in coaxial geometries.
Orientation Effects of Stress Concentrators on the Material Deformation Beha...IJMER
Present investigation pertains to carry out to experimental work to generate data in order to
establish the mode of material deformation and fracture in AISI 316 stainless steel strips of 1.70mm thickness in
the presence of elliptical notches at the center of the specimen whose major axis were designed to incline to the
tensile axis at an angle of 0o
, 45o
and 90o
and the same happens to be the axis of rolling. An elliptical hole of
8.00mm (major axis) with 5.0mm (minor axis) were machined in each specimen so as to correspond to the above
angles of 0o
45o
and90o
and one specimen without any elliptical hole as a notch for comparative analysis of the experimental data. These flat specimens with and without stress concentrators were tested under tension using Hounsfield Tcnsomctcr and the changes in notch geometry have been recorded at various loadings. Further, the visual appearance of the cracks initiation have been continuously observed and recorded. The effect of stress ratio factors and the strain ratio parameters on the mode of fracture on material deformation in and around the stress concentrator has been thoroughly analyzed and it has been established that the crack initiation began either at the inner tips of the minor or the major axis of the elliptical stress concentrator, but, always perpendicular to the direction of loading irrespective of the rolling direction and the orientations of the stress concentrators. However, the changes in the rotation of the major and the minor axis of the elliptical stress concentrators were found to alter, and, this alteration in fact assisted in estimating the strains along the major as well as the minor axis of the stress concentrators. Relation between a plastic strain ratio with respect to the ratio between the major and the minor strains was observed to be of extremely complex nature. The overall observation in the present investigation has indicated that thin strips or sheet specimens containing a single or multiple or a combined type of stress concentrators will create a keen interest in the research approach of the investigators and make them aware of the seriousness of the presence of the stress concentrators and caution them to incorporate any possible design notifications in order to avoid any catastrophic failure (s).

This document discusses experiments carried out to study the effectiveness of using internal pipe measurements for leak detection in plastic pipes. Acoustic and pressure signals from simulated leaks of varying flow rates were measured using a hydrophone and pressure transducer inside a 4-inch plastic pipe. The results showed that both sensors could detect leaks as small as 2 liters per minute under low pipe flow rates. Increasing the ratio between pipe flow rate and leak flow rate diminished and lowered the frequency of the leak signals. Sensor location and direction relative to the leak were also found to impact the quality of the acquired signal.
Determination of Range of Splash of Testing Fluid during Hydro Testing of Kni...ijtsrd
There are certain trivial experimental findings which may not have a major significance but their execution is considered to be of such a nature as to complete the study in the specified area. Likewise in the field of hydro testing of valves and flow equipment, there is a basic requirement of operation of the same under influence of applied hydro pressure. This is required to determine the performance parameters like the thrust and the torque required to operate the equipment. While doing so, in addition to the qualitative requirements, an additional requirement of space has to be considered to ensure the surrounding area is not affected due to splashes of the testing fluid while under pressure. This paper shall consider such a case for hydro testing of a knife gate valve. At a given pressure, when the door or gate of the valve is initiated to open, there is an initial splash of testing fluid which ejects out of the orifice created due to the opening. The horizontal range of this splash shall be mathematically determined. An experimental finding shall then be presented to confirm the derived formulae. A conclusion shall be drawn thereafter dictating the percentage error and the employability of the derived formulae.

Initial analysis was carried out for all 12 wave classes considering Low Frequency LF forces alone and another carried out considering Wave Frequency WF forces alone for 3 wave classes. The 3 classes selected were in line with DNV Ultimate Limit State ULS conditions. Back calculation was used from the fatigue damage results obtained from the analysis and applied to the Weibull equation so an appropriate h parameter can be gotten. Results obtained can be applied to the fatigue analysis of mooring lines within the Gulf of Guinea environment. Adebanjo Victor Abiola | Ibiba Douglas | Matthew N. O.Sadiku | Uwakwe C.

Chemical by product diagnostic technique is an efficient, cost-effective and reliable diagnostic technique for gas insulate switchgear condition monitoring in view of its high sensitivity and anti- internal and external electromagnetic interference and noise. In this research paper, coaxial simulated gas insulated switchgear chamber and four different types of artificial defect were designed to cause partial discharge that will simulate the decomposition of sulphur hexafluoride gas in the chamber when energize. Fourier transform infrared spectrometer was used as the method of chemical by-product technique to detect the SF6 decomposition product and its concentration. Different numerous by-products were detected (SO2, SOF2, SO2F2, SO2F10, SiF4, CO, C3F8, C2F6 ) under this experiment using four different types of defect and the by-products differs with the type of defect and the generation rate. Gas insulated switchgear health condition can be feasibly diagnosed by analyzing the decomposition products of SF6 to identify its fault.

Analysis of stress concentration at opening in pressure vessel using anovaeSAT Publishing House
This document presents an analysis of stress concentration at openings in pressure vessels using analysis of variance (ANOVA). The study uses a pressure vessel with four nozzles of varying diameters instrumented with strain gauges. Experiments are conducted by applying internal pressures from 0.2 to 0.7 MPa in a randomized sequence to prevent bias. ANOVA is used to analyze the experimental results and determine the interaction between nozzle diameter and internal pressure. The ANOVA results show that pressure and nozzle diameter significantly influence stress levels, rejecting the null hypothesis that they do not interact. Stress is found to increase with both larger nozzle diameters and higher internal pressures.
Experimental and numerical study of defects in pressuresed cylindrical shells...eSAT Journals
Abstract
In order to conduct a comprehensive study on the harmfulness of defects in the pressure vessels, and in order to propose simple rules to characterize the harmfulness of existing defects in pressurized installations. An experimental study based on the monitoring of deformations by strain gauges in the vicinity of defects. In parallel, during pressure testing, the evolution of defects is detected and followed by the acoustic emission method. The specific instrumentation has been designed and implemented. Mini-structures ( models) have therefore been carried out with positional defects and different orientation. These experimental results validated by a numerical model of finite elements.
Keywords: Pressure vessels, Cylindrical shells, Defect harmfulness, Circumferential and longitudinal Crack, Strain gauges, Acoustic emission, Stress Intensity Factor.
This document provides an overview of acoustic pulse reflectometry (APR), a technology for inspecting heat exchanger tubes. APR uses acoustic pulses to detect discontinuities in tubes, such as blockages, holes, or corrosion. It is non-invasive, works on any tube material or configuration, and generates objective inspection reports faster than conventional methods. APR helps industries maintain efficient and environmentally friendly operations by enabling quick and comprehensive inspections of heat exchanger tubes to identify issues for maintenance or refurbishment.
This document describes a system called PipeGuard that aims to autonomously detect leaks in pipes. It summarizes the system's design and working principles. PipeGuard contains a carrier module that provides locomotion inside pipes and a detector module. The detector works by measuring changes in force on a rotating drum suspended by a gimbal mechanism when a membrane attached to the drum comes in contact with leak areas. These force measurements can identify leak locations based on the angle of contact. The system uses two microcontrollers, one for real-time leak sensing from force sensors and one for controlling the carrier's speed. It communicates wirelessly to a command center to report leak detections.
Analysis of Transformer Loadings and Failure Rate in Onitsha Electricity Dist...Dr. Hachimenum Amadi
This study analyzed transformer loadings and failure rates in the Onitsha electricity distribution network in Nigeria from 2011-2015. Electrical data from the network was simulated using ETAP software to determine transformer loadings, while questionnaires assessed failure rates. The findings showed an average transformer failure rate of 11.7% during the study period, higher than rates in developed countries. Major causes of failure included insulation issues (24.2%), overloading (22.5%), and inadequate maintenance (16.4%). The Army Barracks substation had the highest failure rate of 23.8%. The study recommends installing more transformers, using high quality transformers, balancing loads, and improving maintenance to increase reliability.

STUDY THE EFFECT OF METALLIC PARTICLE ON DIFFERENT SPACER IN A CO-AXIAL DUCT ...EditorIJAERD
This document studies the effect of metallic particles on the breakdown voltage in a coaxial duct with different spacer materials. Experiments were conducted with copper wire particles placed horizontally and vertically in a coaxial duct with spacers made of polypropylene, nylon, acrylic and teflon. The breakdown voltage was measured under AC, positive DC and negative DC voltages. The results showed that teflon and polypropylene had the highest breakdown voltages. Introducing metallic particles lowered the breakdown voltage, with horizontal placement having less effect than vertical placement. The conclusions determined that the number, position and material of conductors and spacers influence the breakdown voltage in coaxial geometries.
Orientation Effects of Stress Concentrators on the Material Deformation Beha...IJMER
Present investigation pertains to carry out to experimental work to generate data in order to
establish the mode of material deformation and fracture in AISI 316 stainless steel strips of 1.70mm thickness in
the presence of elliptical notches at the center of the specimen whose major axis were designed to incline to the
tensile axis at an angle of 0o
, 45o
and 90o
and the same happens to be the axis of rolling. An elliptical hole of
8.00mm (major axis) with 5.0mm (minor axis) were machined in each specimen so as to correspond to the above
angles of 0o
45o
and90o
and one specimen without any elliptical hole as a notch for comparative analysis of the experimental data. These flat specimens with and without stress concentrators were tested under tension using Hounsfield Tcnsomctcr and the changes in notch geometry have been recorded at various loadings. Further, the visual appearance of the cracks initiation have been continuously observed and recorded. The effect of stress ratio factors and the strain ratio parameters on the mode of fracture on material deformation in and around the stress concentrator has been thoroughly analyzed and it has been established that the crack initiation began either at the inner tips of the minor or the major axis of the elliptical stress concentrator, but, always perpendicular to the direction of loading irrespective of the rolling direction and the orientations of the stress concentrators. However, the changes in the rotation of the major and the minor axis of the elliptical stress concentrators were found to alter, and, this alteration in fact assisted in estimating the strains along the major as well as the minor axis of the stress concentrators. Relation between a plastic strain ratio with respect to the ratio between the major and the minor strains was observed to be of extremely complex nature. The overall observation in the present investigation has indicated that thin strips or sheet specimens containing a single or multiple or a combined type of stress concentrators will create a keen interest in the research approach of the investigators and make them aware of the seriousness of the presence of the stress concentrators and caution them to incorporate any possible design notifications in order to avoid any catastrophic failure (s).

This document discusses experiments carried out to study the effectiveness of using internal pipe measurements for leak detection in plastic pipes. Acoustic and pressure signals from simulated leaks of varying flow rates were measured using a hydrophone and pressure transducer inside a 4-inch plastic pipe. The results showed that both sensors could detect leaks as small as 2 liters per minute under low pipe flow rates. Increasing the ratio between pipe flow rate and leak flow rate diminished and lowered the frequency of the leak signals. Sensor location and direction relative to the leak were also found to impact the quality of the acquired signal.
Determination of Range of Splash of Testing Fluid during Hydro Testing of Kni...ijtsrd
There are certain trivial experimental findings which may not have a major significance but their execution is considered to be of such a nature as to complete the study in the specified area. Likewise in the field of hydro testing of valves and flow equipment, there is a basic requirement of operation of the same under influence of applied hydro pressure. This is required to determine the performance parameters like the thrust and the torque required to operate the equipment. While doing so, in addition to the qualitative requirements, an additional requirement of space has to be considered to ensure the surrounding area is not affected due to splashes of the testing fluid while under pressure. This paper shall consider such a case for hydro testing of a knife gate valve. At a given pressure, when the door or gate of the valve is initiated to open, there is an initial splash of testing fluid which ejects out of the orifice created due to the opening. The horizontal range of this splash shall be mathematically determined. An experimental finding shall then be presented to confirm the derived formulae. A conclusion shall be drawn thereafter dictating the percentage error and the employability of the derived formulae.

1) The paper presents a probability analysis of slope stability using the Monte Carlo simulation method to account for uncertainty in parameters like pore water pressure, cohesion, and internal angle of friction.
2) The results of the Monte Carlo simulation method are compared to other recognized methods of slope stability analysis like Bishop simplified, Fellenuis, Janbu simplified and corrected, Spencer and Lowe-Karafiath which use limit equilibrium.
3) The probability analysis finds that the failure probability is most affected by the standard deviation of pore water pressure, cohesion, internal angle of friction, and correlation coefficient between parameters, though individual limit equilibrium methods only account for one of these parameters in each analysis.
This document summarizes an abstract from the 9th International Scientific Conference on Applied Sciences and Engineering. The abstract discusses some biochemical markers that can predict pre-eclampsia. It states that tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) directly damages vascular endothelial cells and increases endothelial permeability, which may result in secretion of vasoactive substances and increased vascular permeability and coagulation. This involvement of TNF-α in the pathogenesis of pre-eclampsia means it may identify patients at high risk for the condition and serve as a marker of severity. Preeclamptic women also have abnormal lipid metabolism and profiles due to pre-eclampsia, and this alteration in lipid metabolism may play a key role in developing symptoms.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can

Abstract
The present work investigates the structural health monitoring of pipelines using multi
sensors for early detection of cracks to prevent possible failures during operation.
Presenting cracks in the pipe wall may significantly alter the stiffness of the pipes.
Changing the flow in pipelines results in changing the pressure, and thus, the
deformation of the pipe’ wall. Pipe’s wall deformation leads to changing the electrical
voltage generated in PVDF sensors, which is used as an indicator for possible failure
in the pipeline. Most of the available works in this field are based on the single sensing
which may provides significant errors in the size and location of the cracks. In order to
detect the size and location of the cracks and damage, one may needs several
sensors mounted at different locations close to the defected region. In this paper, four
PVDF sensors are mounted at the defected area of the pipelines to achieve an
accurate estimation of the size and location of the damage. It is observed that using
multi sensors may provides an efficient method to detect the damage and to predict the
possible failure in the pipeline structures.
